I'm here for a good amount of time (a month or so) and have friends I keep in touch with here - so having a cell phone is really nice for plans, etc. It's also nice for making reservations, etc. If you find you're okay without one, then why bother :-) That's what locutorios are for ;-) By the way, you mentioned not knowing about the ice cream - remember this word "helado" and look for "helado artesanal" so you can have gooood house-made ice cream :-) Hi Scott - well, it depends on how long you are staying and what kinds of things you like to do.

Everyone I know up here told me how easy is would be to set up my existing phone while there... all MSties (no offence intended), but it turned out not to be. My cellphone turned out to be the only accurate 'clock' that I had around wherever I was. Next time, computer only, and email only....I mean, between dancing, dance lessons, and FOOD, who really needs a phone anyway. :) scott So, how DO you translate SIM card, anyway?

And you know what; I actually made copies of my passport for every purse I have, but I never seem to use them when needed.

Just show him my NYS driver's license. No forms, no signature. 40 peso for the sim, and 20 peso for the prepaid card. Ha, it took me less trouble to get one outside of Palermo Shopping mall.
